Man that gravel driver sure knew what they were doing. It was beautiful to watch, definitely an art. I always get sad at the end of the videos haha, definitely keep them coming. I binged the rest of your channel and now I have nothing left to watch 😅

Jesse is a man of culture. Lows boots are the absolute best.

Have a 4 1/2" in the mix. Great addition . "Handy as a pocket on a shirt", LOL !

I am a retired union plumber, I have always loved construction . My wife and I built 4 homes for ourselves over the years so its cool to see so many of your pro tips are things that I have done.... Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming ... Dave in Eagle Nebraska !

Hello from Sheffield England, great video the finishing touches can be the most frustrating but always satisfying 👍🏻

I love my 4 1/2 skill saw contractors be hating but it's been working like a champ!

I will attest to the gravels tearing up your knees and shins ...when I was still roofing I kept foam in the van to kneel on.. after building houses for 20 years or so our economy tanked in the 80s I went into remodeling and did over 100 roofs in 1985 many in were very steep roofs averaging 11/12 or steeper usually when I bid a steep roof we got it...our crew could do a 25 square walkable roof tear off normally in one work day. Plus siding, windows, soffits etc plus additions then went into the handyman service. After almost 60 years I finally had to give it up because of my knees and back .

Just binged the last 5 videos in this series. I’ve watched every video of all 4 builds you’ve documented. Great videos and keep it up!

Lotta lotta progress! You guys are really in the home stretch now!

Pro tip: when setting cabinets up against Sheetrock that are made with box construction and full overlay doors, use a 1” filler. Otherwise you end up with an odd gap so that the door can fully open

Them big ole hats are a staple in Miami…use it for work…lawn mowing…or when down in the keys.

People don’t like hearing about the financial end?! I feel like that’s some of the most valuable commentary. Very few people truly understand the cost of business. Most people think that business owners are wiping with cash - not if they want to remain sustainable. Ever notice how the guys in lifted brand new trucks every few years don’t last too long? Yeah - not enough reinvested in the business.

Feels like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen ray jay builder channel

[shawnfoos]

And I’m sure she’ll tell you you better enjoy it because you’ll be sleeping in it. Lol love your channel I have learned so much from you guys.

[tedspens]

You guys have too much fun to call it work. 🚧👷🏻‍♂👷🏻‍♂

[bertv]

I had this great brainwave when I saw that car cavalcade leaving the mountain job: why not use a customized school bus to get all of the perps to the job? You could even have a small shop in it to use on site.

[ShellymanStudios]

Such an very fun episode! Keep it up y'all!

[robertgeiger]

I always used the foam cushions that came from the couches & chairs that people would through out to the curb.

I paused this at 4 seconds in to ponder just how in the hell humans dealt with doing anything at all with that terrain 300, 400 yrs ago w rudimentary tools and maybe an ox or mule. In that light...these guys here look like gods. (don't let it go to ur heads).

Surprised you taped at the bottom flange of those windows. Most moisture management advice says do sides and top but leave the bottom untaped.
